JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE

The joint statement of managers of the committee of conference on the measure including this description:

Sec. 4. Exclusions

Section 4 of the Senate Bill, titled ‘‘Exclusions’’, sets out those provisions that are exempt from S. 1.

Section 4 of the House Amendment, titled ‘‘Limitation on Application’’, establishes a similar list of exempt provisions with two differences. For the exclusion applying to legislation that prohibits discrimination, the House uses ‘‘gender’’ rather than ‘‘sex’’ and does not include ‘‘color.’’ The House bill also includes an exclusion for any provision that pertains to Social Security.

The Conference Substitute adopts the Senate Bill’s language with a narrower exclusion for Social Security. The Substitute only excludes legislation that relates to Title II of the Social Security Act.
